(Aug. 19, 2014) Saturday's 2014 Walk Now for Autism Speaks Nantucket fundraising walk is expected to raise more than $400,000 for autism research and awareness programs by the time the final donations are received, Autism Speaks Nantucket Resource Center director Kim Horyn said this week.

The eighth annual walk started and finished at Jetties Beach Saturday morning. More than 700 people registered to walk, Horyn said.
